EDWARDS, Colorado — A 12-2 whomping can do one of two things to the losing team.
It can make the team cower, or it can charge the team up.
Battle Mountain lacrosse, which lost to Aspen by a double-digit margin in a snow-shortened game earlier this year, took coach Bob Daino’s advice and got a bit angry before Wednesday’s rematch in Edwards and came away with a 13-9 win.
“They were psyched, and it was a good turnaround,” Daino said. “(Aspen) thought they were going to come out and walk all over us because of the first game. I told the kids if they weren’t up for it, Aspen was going to stomp on them.”
